She was SURE they wouldn't enjoy this pose. It did require...balance.
"Ve're almost done. I promise. Just one more position. The tree pose. Hold your hands together like so..." Demonstration time! "Then take your foot, and carefully hold it over your knee." She would make it a little less difficult by keeping the hands mid-level and not above their heads like she was used to doing. Before their complains could fill her ears though, she continued on.
"So, ve've discussed the three categories for dark spells. The jinxes, in which cause damage or negative effects. The hexes, which are the simplest of malevolent spells to cast, most often having some sort of transfiguration or other negative effect. And then the curses, which almost always are intended to cause grave harm to the victim."
"However, is it just the spell itself that makes it dark? If a vitch or vizard used one of these spells, vould that automatically make them a dark person? Vot makes someone a dark vitch or vizard?" The Tree Pose
The Tree pose was impossible, this much August Goldstein was certain of.
Many attempts were made by the Gryffindor but he was unable to achieve standing more than a few second each time he continued to try over and over again until the Professor asked them another querstion, the last he thought he heard her say.
"I don't think just performing the spell would make a witch or wizard bad really, Professor. I think it's just like what I and yourself mentioned before." he said gesturing to her.
"It requires intent to harm or maim that makes someone's action, like casting, dark or evil."
